  It's where the audiences are. There's not really a way around it.

    There's an argument for it being where _an_ audience is, but my point is that it's probably not the audience you want.

  My previous employer's evil HR director weaponized employee Linked In profiles. The hr department would actively monitor employee linked in pages. You were expected to regularly post positive stuff about the company (it would come up in reviews), BUT if it looked like the employee was buffing their resume they would have the employee's manager bring the employee in to try and figure out if they were getting ready to quit, and in certain cases use those updates as the impetus for us to "find a reason" to PiP/fire the employee. Or, if you were a manager on HR's shitlist as someone they wanted gone, they would use employees updating their profile it as cause for the manager's manager to investigate if the manager should be fired for low staff morale, since the employees were seen as getting ready to quit, and so it must be the managers fault. The company's position was, you should only use your linked in profile to talk about how good the employer was, and anything else to promote the employee or look for a job was a trigger for "finding a reason to fire". It was horrible. Glad I'm not there anymore.

    Absolutely ridiculous behavior. What if an employee didn't have a LinkedIn account or never logs into it? This is apparently what happens when your HR org is large and bored.
